Typing unicode
by Maurício 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hi, This is probably a really basic question already asked many times, but I wasn't able to find an answer. How to type an unicode character using its number? Searching for messages, I found things like: "2019 \char"2019 \char{"2019} \utfchar{"2019} but I wasn't able to get any of them to work. (I don't know for sure they actually should do what I want.) 'texexec --version' says: TeXExec | version 6.2.0 - 1997-2006 - PRAGMA ADE/POD Thanks, Maurício

one entry, multiple registers
by Femke Snelting 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Dear list, I'm part of a design group Open Source Publishing, and since a few months we are using various TeX related packages. After many trials and errors we were more than happy to come accross ConTeXt and it starts to grow on us :-) For the lay-out of a multi-lingual art publication we would like to include four registers. I've searched mailinglist, manuals and wiki but can't find how to add the same entry to *multiple* registers. How should I mark up 'carrots' to make it appear in Orange AND in Vegetable? Or is \Vegetable{carrots}\Orange{carrots}{carrots} really the best way?

Reduce heat to simmer, cover, and cook 20 minutes. \completeOrange \completeVegetable \stoptext

Catcodes for punctuation in MkIV
by Wolfgang Schuster 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hi, with the persian interface each character has now the catcode 11 and this cause a few problems in the input with puctuation, see below. \starttext »\CONTEXT« and »\CONTEXT’ interface« \stoptext The right quillemet and the apostrophe are treated as part of the \CONTEXT command and we should reset them (plus a few more) to catcode 12 in the format.

Cyrillic in most simple way
by Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hi all, I just downloaded and setup latest context beta on my new machine.I made a simple script file for my teaching schedule in UTF-8 encoding and with %engine=luatex prefix. But.. the default font is LMRoman12, and it has no Cyrrilic letters. I need simple document and I don't care about fonts at all. how can I get Cyrillic in most simple way? (Without writing a typescript for Times New Roman.. oh, not again) Maybe there are some Cyrillic fonts/typescripts already shipped with context? Best, regards, Vyatcheslav

by Xan 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hi, I'm amazing if it's possible to process, by some way, a text written in context for context overline in red the incorrect words (via ispell). Overline in red is any example. For example, we could \frame this words. How it could be done?, if it's. Xan. PS: Please, CCme.

by Pau 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hello, I am trying to write a text in Castillian and I don't get the inverted exclamation symbol right. I am using \language[es] \mainlanguage[es] in the preamble and I also tried playing with utf without success. Instead of ¡ and ¿ I get an "a" with a cedilla and a pound symbol, respectively Of course, I can use {!`} and {?`}, but I was wondering why I don't get these right using \language I have done my homework and have googled, yahoo'ed and even clustied hint? thanks, Pau

by Xan 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

I have the following enumeration: \defineenumeration [definition] [text=Definició,headstyle=bold,style=italic, between=\blank,titledistance=.5em, textdistance=1em,stopper=.,location=hanging,titleleft=(,titleright=)] and when I use it (\startdefinition ... \stopdefinition) it appears not indenting. I want to indenting it, but \indenting before \startdefinition does not work. How can do that? Thanks in advance, Xan.

useURL interactionmode
by Severin 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Hello, I defined urls like \useURL [activepython] [{http://.test.com}][sub]. Doing \from[url] with interactive mode enabled I get 'http://test.com' written in the document and the hyperlink point to http://test.com/sub. Now, if I disable interactive mode I still get 'http://test.com' on the output, but It would be nice to have 'http://test.com/sub', since there are no hyperlinks. is there a way to do this? My idea would be to write a macro that encabsulates \useURL, but is different, depending on the interaction-mode. Regards, Severin

Re: [NTG-context] new beta
by polytope 19 Feb '09

Dear Hans and Taco, I was so glad to see both of you in Seoul, far from your place. I noticed that some problems in Korean typesetting were cleared in your demo. Thank you for the new beta. I didn't test yet, however, I believe that it is perfect since Dr. Kim said so. And, his comments will give you more clues to make better output. Thank you again for your concern. with best regards, Dalyoung Jeong
